Jonathan Abrams, New York Times bestselling author and longtime NBA reporter, joins Tayler and Justin to discuss his upcoming book, "When We Were Young and Fearless," exploring the biggest what-if in Thunder history: the breakup of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden. We dig into the inside story of the Harden trade, the infamous Tyson Chandler deal that never happened, Sam Presti’s evolution, and the parallels between the original Thunder core and today’s team. Plus, we play a game of KD, Russ, or Harden? and debate what might have been if the trio had stayed together.
"When We Were Young and Fearless" arrives on November 3. Order your copy here: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/when-we-were-young-and-fearless-jonathan-abrams
